'There's been murder' is just an expression. I didn't actually mean that someone had been killed, just that things have kicked off big time.

Ah, sorry! Not my mother tongue.

Forgot to mention that just before the match they attacked the goalkeeper, Stankovic and Zigic prevented them from beating him up. He refused to go on the pitch afterwards.

There hasn't been a murder, but there were riots in the streets. Gay pride is just an excuse for them, they go mental any time they find anything close to an excuse and never get serious punishment. On Sunday the policemen had orders only to defend themselves and hundreds of them ended up in a hospital, instead of the other way round. And now they decided to have a prolonged weekend in Italy, the utter cunts, we deserve to be kicked out of the qualifications, perhaps then someone will do something about them.

Then to Belgrade, which is the best city I have ever been to.

But you didn't find it... beautiful, did you?

I've been living in Belgrade since forever and find it still difficult to grasp tourists' fascination with it.

It's the long-legged girls, right?

Mistresses and wives clash over trapped Chilean miners

Tensions are rising above ground as wives and mistresses of the 33 miners trapped deep within the San Jose mine make rival claims for compensation.

 

Authorities at Camp Hope have had to deal with a rush of women coming forward claiming to be first in the Chilean miners' affections in order to receive government handouts.

At least five wives have been forced to come face to face with mistresses whose existence was kept from them by their husbands, who have been trapped more than 2,300ft below since a cave in on August 5.

 

One miner has four women fighting over him in an effort to claim compensation offered to the families of those facing between three to four months underground until a rescue shaft can reach them.

Government officials are considering asking the 33 trapped miners to name those they want to claim the benefits entitled to them in a bid to solve problems on the surface.

"There has been a lot of conflict between women," admitted Marta Flores a Red Cross worker at the makeshift camp where relatives wait for news of their loved ones.

"We had a big bust up in the canteen tent when a wife came across a woman who claimed to be her husband's lover – we had to step in and pull them apart before things got physical." At stake are welfare packages issued to the families of the trapped miners as well as future compensation claims that could run into tens of thousands of pounds.

"Unfortunately the conflict stems from money issues," said Mrs Flores. "Some of the men have children from numerous women and all of them have arrived here to stake their claim. I've met five families in this situation but I'm sure there are more." Some women turned up at the camp to discover that their partners already had a wife and children who they knew nothing about.

"Those that truly love their men have slipped away quietly not wanting to cause any more pain to the families but others are putting up a fight." Special welfare officers trained in marital issues have been brought in to provide help to women faced with their husband's infidelity.

One miner, who has not been named, has a first wife he never divorced, his live-in partner, a mother of a child he had several years ago, and a woman who claims to be his current girlfriend all visiting the camp.

"It's a logistical nightmare trying to keep them apart and of course they all want to send messages," said Mrs Flores.

The team of psychologists charged with ensuring the mental welfare of the men below ground are attempting keep such developments from the miners.

"We read all the letters before they are sent down to make sure the miners do not experience any extra anxiety," said Alberto Iturra, head of the psychological team.

One of the trapped miners, Yonni Barrios Rojas, who is using his first aid training to treat medical problems underground is among those who faces difficult questions when he finally makes it the surface.

His wife, Marta Salinas, 56, discovered he had a mistress when she came across another woman holding a vigil for him. The other woman, Susana Valenzuela, said they met on a training course five years ago and he was planning to leave his wife for her.

"He is my husband. He loves me and I am his devoted wife," insisted Mrs Salinas. "This other woman has no legitimacy."

The average height for 14 year old girls certainly isn't 1.51m here. My daughter is 1.56 and is smallest in her class.

That's the average height in Brazil, it's omitted in the subtitles.

I'm somehow more shocked by that house she lives in.

Gene Tierney

Amazing life story:

In June 1943, while pregnant with her first daughter (Daria), Tierney contracted rubella during her only appearance at the Hollywood Canteen. Daria was born prematurely in Washington, D.C., weighing only three pounds, two ounces (1.42 kg) and requiring a total blood transfusion. Because of Tierney's illness, Daria was also deaf, partially blind with cataracts and had severe mental retardation. Tierney's grief over the tragedy led to many years of depression and may have begun her bipolar disorder. Some time after the tragedy surrounding her daughter Daria's birth, Tierney learned from a fan who approached her for an autograph at a tennis party that the woman (who was then a member of the women's branch of the Marine Corps) had sneaked out of quarantine while sick with rubella to meet Tierney at her only Hollywood Canteen appearance. In her autobiography, Tierney related that after the woman had recounted her story, she just stared at her silently, then turned and walked away. She wrote, "After that I didn't care whether ever again I was anyone's favorite actress." Biographers have theorized that Agatha Christie used this real life tragedy as the basis of her plot for The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side.[39][40][41] The incident, as well as the circumstances under which the information was imparted to the actress, is repeated almost verbatim in the story.

Amazing. I'd rep you if I could.

Pascale Petit. What a cutie.

Can't remember if anyone's mentioned Paulette Goddard -

Erm i posted this one page back, preeeeetty lazy.

Not lazy, just blind, apparently, as I check this thread regularly. Sorry!

Pics please, and I'll be the judge of that.

I'd reckon I really look like Gal Gadot in this picture.

Ridiculous stuff, most of the time.

That song is serious though, she starts holding back tears during the broken English stampede of shit.

N... no... can't be... Jebus.

You might want to try the Eurovision drinking game while you're at it. I have never tried it though, because the "songs" would probably make me vomit all the time.

Cameron Diaz. Especially when she tries to be funny.

O...k...

I think there's already a Eurovision thread. Anyway...

Fuckin love Eurovision. Comic Relief has all those videos about starving black kids that bums you out. But Eurovision is 100% comedy from start to finish.

Agree. It's also a unique defilé of kitsch and trash, and who doesn't like that?

The Latvians have, apparently, a sense of humour, whereas the others are just dead boring this year. I think the Greek "song" is the worst.
